1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ overtime hours in advance through a manager, rather than employees simply deciding to stay late on their own.'
We 'approve overtime' — the standard, simple collocation for authorizing extra hours in advance. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Letting overtime go unapproved and unrecorded can ___ payroll facing a wage claim nobody actually budgeted for.'
We say unrecorded overtime will 'leave' payroll facing a claim — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting exposure. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the approval threshold explicitly, rather than a vague understanding of when a manager's sign-off is actually required.'
We 'set a threshold' — the standard, simple collocation for defining when approval is needed. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every overtime claim against the approved request, rather than paying out hours nobody with authority actually authorized.'
We 'match a claim' — the standard, simple collocation for reconciling paid hours against approvals. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ overtime spend monthly by department, rather than discovering a budget overrun only once the quarter has already closed.'
We 'track spend' — the standard, simple collocation for monitoring overtime costs over time. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
